The audacity of someone who murders someone, steals their money, and pawns off their personal items to then sit in a room and tell everyone they are innocent
Did he even get any money? This is horrific- who does something like this OMG!how is his ( girl) friend just mind her business? Sick!heart breaking story!hits home !
omg he sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo didn't let the guy's mother try and claim his innocence.
Seeing family members hollering in court about their sweet innocent child (who committed horrific crimes) always makes me want to pull my hair out. I’d never be able to show my face again if my family member did something like this. Don’t know where these people get the entitlement and audacity.
The fact that he drove to a different city, pretended to be an Uber driver AND not even knowing WHO he was going to pick up is absolutely insane. His only intention was to find someone and kill them that night, I’m 100% sure this isn’t the first time. Just the first time he was caught
@@tuckerbugeaterbitch, women make men, so why shouldn’t they be parting? did you not have a woman raise you as you were sucking on her tits for years and depending on her for everything? or do you like to be a troll and follow in everyone’s footsteps?
@@lorabell1979 agreed and men and women should stop acting like these are the reasons it happened. it was a complete wrong place wrong time for her and shes gone and all yall care about is going back and fourth. Men and Women do terrible things. There was a women who threw her newborn baby in the trash can 4 weeks ago and im not comparing you to her.
It honestly blows my mind that people didn’t check Ubers before stuff like this. Maybe I’m just hyper paranoid but I’ve never liked the idea of getting in a strangers car so I’ve always double and triple checked.
The problem was that they got separated i bet those friends regret that they at least one should have left with her and made sure that she got home safe or at least would have checked her room and seen she was missing
@@Sabied5nimma guy and my friends are guys and I never let them leave alone while intoxicated. We stick together and we make sure eachother get home safe.
It doesn't matter if everyone is intoxicated. Haven't we seen a bunch of women get into the wrong Uber car, the wrong plates,the wrong colour, the wrong driver etc. What if he4 friends had to work early morning, pick their kids from a sitter, etc. Your safety is your responsibility before you make it other people's responsibility.
@BlmnotinAfri.-_- , while what you're saying may have some truth to it. The fact of the matter is that if you leave home in a group, you all should make sure everyone is present before leaving to go back home. That's basic safety etiquette 101.
Thank you your honor for shutting the mom right up. My deepest condolences to Samantha’s family. Rest in peace baby girl. Your story will save a lot of lives.
For shutting the Mom? You’re proud of that? Guilty or not, a Mothers love for the child is UNCONDITIONAL! Yeah her son is a killer but that shouldn’t stop her from LOVING her son. What’s wrong with you? You must not have children or parents for that matter
Right hush lady cus if your son was so holy and a good person he wouldn’t have been going around killing ppl. Yea a mothers love is unconditional but right is right and my mom can love me but she wouldn’t lie for me! If I did something like this she’d probably kill me herself or die from a broken heart cus she did not raise me that way. To say he didn’t do it like she was there is insane. She’s in denial! He’s a manipulator and a loser! He couldn’t get money out of her ATM nor could he sell her cell phone now he’s in jail for the rest of his life for what?!!!!!
@@Blessed2bhere34 have some respect for yourself woman! How about you log outta here and go make me a sandwich and then rub my feet afterwards?? I’m a hard working man that needs a woman like you to SERVE me, your mother must have not taught you how to please a man so I will teach you how to
@@andrewchapman5659 of course. His friends are probably murderers themselves or better robbers than him. He was probably involved in a gang or something so they’re 100% going to have this guys back. & if they’re all murderers they sure wouldn’t mind catching another body. If this girl doesn’t have security with her 24/7 she’s absolutely cooked I say she needs a new place to stay and police to stay with her a solid two weeks monitoring her place to keep those hoodlums away from her
The nerve of his mother to try and say he was a good person. He’s malicious! He killed her for absolutely no reason. My heart aches for Sammie’s family. I pray for their healing and that they find peace some day.
sometimes its really hard to believe there's a whole defense stating he has no bruises on him, but yet her blood is all over his car and he sold her belongings is absolute insanity. being a defense lawyer must be wild
When I was in law school we had to learn to see both sides and defend both sides. You have to come up with anything to try to help your client, even if it’s obvious he did it.
@CLYTXO yeah and he might kill your daughter if you defend him so well. If you know defendent is guilty and you let him out, that might go on and kill someone you love
This guy and his Mom are delusional...... The evidence is beyond overwhelming....!!!! My heart goes out to the victims family. This should not have happened.
How dare his mother try to say he’s innocent shame on her!!! He should’ve gotten the death penalty. My heart goes out to her family and may she rest in peace!!!!
Exactly , and that's why this man child turned out like this because of his woman child mom ....they should put him down .He doesn't even belong in prison.
My sister was murdered. I remember the phone call when she was identified. I went screaming and running out of the house. This story resonated with me. I think the family was so strong to go to the trial. And the What's My Name is a brilliant thing to do, to inform others so they don't experience the same tragic fate as their beautiful daughter and sister.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister. I've also lost loved ones to murder. And my only sibling is my younger sister. I can't imagine. Rest Peacefully to your beautiful sister 💜💐
@@Big87653isk about p and q that right there already tells me u struggle with intelligence which is the whole problem not p and q . Bc there messed up ppl
That’s why everyone needs to be vigilant at all times. It is 100% ok to be in changed of your safety and take the measures you see fit to protect yourself.
A front license plate wouldn't have changed anything in this case. Even after they found the correct car and it's owner, there was still no evidence that he was the driver on that night. The best piece of evidence in this case was testimony, from the lady who testified against him that she witnessed him cleaning the car, the knife, and telling her to mind her own business. Without that, even the knife containing both of their DNA might not have been enough for a conviction. Front license plates don't do anything to solve murders, all they do is help the state send you petty traffic tickets more easily.
I’ve watched a couple episodes of this on different programs and it was showing the moms holding escher and so update that they both were in this situation … one was never going to see their child again and one was going through jail for life and she realized her child had gone such a horrific thing
The fact that this guy had zero reaction after being convicted told me EVERYTHING I needed to know. Im so glad that the family has some sense of justice.
Wait…so someone that already knows they are going to prison for life has no emotion says a lot? Lol if you’ve been locked up you get desensitized bc all the crazy ish that happens inside. Plus the lawyers ALWAYS mention to act cool with no emotion. Gtfoh 😂
this case may have saved my life. after learning what happened to samantha, i now check license plates before getting into my uber. just over a month ago, i was waiting for an uber when a car pulled up next to me. it was a dark car, similar to the car that was described on the app. i almost got in but i remembered to verify the plates and they did not match. a few moments later, my actual uber pulled up. if it wasn't for this case, i may have gotten into that car and who knows what would have happened. rest easy, samantha
@@ykonratev i mean i've always checked plates but if i order an uber while on an empty street and a car fitting the description pulls up, i'm going to assume its my uber without second thought. especially if i'm under the influence which i usually am if i'm ordering an uber in the first place lol.
THANK YOU MARIA FOR TESTIFYING!!!! THE FACT that his mother went up there to say he is innocent and harmless is absolute BS and an INSULT to the victims family! How dare she go up there and say that and continue to defend that monster. RIP Samantha and condolences to the family!
His girlfriend deserves so much for her cooperation. She should go into witness protection and start a new life. My heart breaks for Samantha's family and friends.
Agreed. She really put her life on the line as well as her child's. 😢 May God bless her & keep her. I pray she gets herself a better life. Thank God she has a good heart!
imagine finding out you sat where that poor baby girl maybe took her last breaths. ( im still in the middle of the video) i feel awful for everyone involved. especially poor sam who lost her life ☹️
This judge proves time and time again that he’s truly a man of honor. His no nonsense outlook is refreshing and he always advocates for the victims. His integrity is unwavering and admirable.
And you base this on what?! Do you know this judge's history and the cases he's handled or are you just basing your high praises of this judge because of this episode and the Alex Murdaugh trial? 🙄🤦
@@gmimi2 👈😂 if you’re high on a Sunday morning mocking people for simply praising a judge, you should probably reevaluate your life before it’s too late.
LOVE that the judge wasn’t going for the BS his mother was trying to spew because MAAM HE DID IT, and he showed absolutely no remorse for this young lady! Rest In Peace sweet girl❤
@jimwerther or the Ma'khia Bryant case. The 16 year-old girl who was in the process of stabbing another girl, and her mother/step-mother/foster mother told the media that Ma'khia was a "loving person" who had "motherly qualities". I am so sick of these mothers who try to defend the actions of their criminal children.
Thankfully they have added security features now. Always make sure to verify my security pin with the driver aside from ensuring the car & driver description is a match.
This broke my heart. It took a lot for me to cry after watching my mom pass from cancer. I balled my eyes out hearing about this case. Cases like these are what made me pursue a career in criminal justice. I’m so thankful justice was served for her. So terrible.
This case definitely made me more diligent when using Uber. I confirm the license plate and that the driver knows my name before entering. I also share my trip details with a friend or family member. She is absolutely saving lives.
This “what’s my name?” thing only protects passengers and does not protect drivers. Especially when passengers use the app to order a ride for someone else and decide not to disclose that to the driver before hand. Also 90 percent of passengers do not use their real name or put up a photo. Drivers have no idea who they are picking up. Whereas Uber and Lyft give passenger’s literally all the info they need so stuff like this don’t happen. Passengers get a profile picture, license plate, car make and model and color.
He literally ran after he got pulled over. That alone proves guilt. He deserves to rot in that cell for what he did. It's a shame that heartless people like him exist in this world.
Props to the judge for shutting down the mother. It never fails to amaze me how much I see … Parents of a convicted suspect trying to convince a judge that their son/daughter is a “good person.”
Thank you to the girlfriend who found the bravery to testify. You did better by him than his own mother who called him a good person in front of the victims family after he admitted to trying to sell stolen property. She knows he’s a thief if nothing else but still calls him good. You are better off away from that vile family, both you and you child.
Exactly if nothing else, he definitely try to sell the phone. But even then someone drove your car committed a murder. You were conveniently cleaning the weapons. You didn’t notice all the blood in the back. You try to sell the phones. And trust me if someone committed a murder in my car, you best believe I’m getting on the stand.
How sad that she was celebrating starting a new chapter or her life, getting into law school and completing her degree for a lawless monster to take hers like that. Shame on that mother for not even extending empathy to the family who lost their daughter. Truly a sad case. Glad Justice was served.
A substantial issue that plagues many people is the lack of their surroundings and awareness and ability of self-defense. Too many people are too trusting about individuals who they know nothing about. Start training individuals to always think proactively instead of trusting without having trust earned first
I found it hilarious how she was trying to testify and claim that he was innocent after he was convicted. 🤣 She needs to go back under the rock that she poked out from!
The fact that you’re calling a mother fighting for her child “disgusting” makes YOU disgusting. Remember, this is the justice system which convicts innocent people ALL THE TIME. 1 in 20 people in prison right now are innocent. Even the most cut and dry trials come to light 20, 30 years later and the real monsters go free. I’m not saying he’s innocent or guilty, I’m just saying it’s a mother’s responsibility to fight for her children no matter what, and if in the unlikely event he is innocent, you’re the exact type of person who’d be saying “what a great mom WOW!” Daft, daft minds.
@@PneumaNoose The fact that you think motherly loves should be unwavering is filth behavior. Shame on you. Talk about daft mind. Thats you. Absolutely disgusting human, you are.
This judge is a great judge. I can't believe his mom is in denial to defend her son with all this evidence. This is horrible. He murdered that girl in Cold blood.
As a father this one really got to me. I couldn't imagine doing all I could to raise a a child to be a educated and driven young women just to have some monster like that take her out of this world.
@@Ethan_Alexandurmake sure you teach your child/ren to take precaution in everything they do. clearly the girl was too eager to get in the car, didnt verify the driver and didnt even wait for the car to stop
I got scammed in 2016 by a fake Uber. I just didn't know any better and was in NYC for the first time. He took me to my destination but made me pay 3x in cash what I should have paid. I was a young female, too scared to argue with him - I did at first but he got angry and wouldn't stop the car until I gave him the cash. I was so upset afterward, but this case makes me realize how much worse it could have been. Rest in peace, Samantha.
I realize that as a young female in a stressful situation we don't always think straight in the moment, but for anyone who's ever in a similar situation you should call Uber customer service immediately (if they're an actual Uber driver) to get that driver's account suspended. If you feel threatened call 911. As soon as you get out of the car get the license plate # (even a partial could help police). One of the questions I was hoping they'd answer is how the guy got her phone away from her before she could call for help?
Because of this case, I have been double checking how I verify I’m in the correct car, ie license plate and to make sure the driver knows my name. I’m definitely more careful. May Samatha rest in peace. And May God give her family comfort.
Uber should be doing this on their own. With mobile devices, a two-way handshake for mutual verification is very easy. I used to drive for Uber for a bit and sometimes, I was unsure the person in my vehicle was the one who ordered it.
@@awshortclips my husband and I went to manhattan to see Nas at Madison square garden in February. Afterwards, we went to get dinner and we got an Uber to take us back to Weehawken. The app told us in real time who our driver was, what he looked like, where he was and what surprised me was how fast he got to us, considering this was midtown, right after a concert from the garden was let out on a Friday night. The app told us the make and model of the SUV, as well as the plate number. Uber now has made it to where it’s now impossible to get into the wrong vehicle.
Judge Newman is an absolutely fantastic, compassionate man. He also was the judge in the recent Murdaugh trial. He lost his own son during that trial and had to sit and listen to the lies of Alex Murdaugh who killed his own family in cold blood. I can't imagine how he sat through that. A truly strong individual
I looked thru comments for 1st person who realized that was the judge for Murdaugh trial but his son died 2 wks prior to that trial not during. You are so right he is a compassionate judge and I'm sure a very wise man I think Alex M. totally discusted him he had to have pic of Murdaugh grandfather taken off the wall so as not to jeopardize that trial and he practice law in same court rooms as A.M. dad as well he must of had an interesting career overseeing these types of cases.....It was very smart of the mom to ask Uber driver who they are there for that may have prevented her murder!!!!!
I read that he stabbed her over 120 times with this multi tool. This was a horrific murder and I’m honestly shocked he didn’t get the death penalty for this. She died an extremely low and agonizing death. This guy is the pure definition of evil.
Or maybe there was someone else in the car or who partook, this whole case was wild and he killed her with no reason at all! So says the court not myself
Sad that none of her sorority “sisters” or “friends” that partied with her that night walked her to her Uber and made sure she entered safely. My daughter is in college and we stress the importance of staying in groups and taking care of each other. My heart truly goes out to Samantha’s family. Such a beautiful life cut short. Judge was amazing. Murderer, his defense team, and his mother disgusted me. The audacity he had to try and claim his innocence in front of her family made my stomach turn!!!
We have the best system on the planet for a reason.. The skill level of public defenders with 20 years of experience it's not bad in the judge is supposed to make sure that both sides have equal experience if the defendant is indigent. Obviously, NR is a piece of |shit| notice how his public defenders did not talk about his character.
I’m an Uber driver and I always confirm the passengers name and say my name. Sometimes some people seem bothered that I do this but it’s for everyone’s safety… as a dad this just makes me sick to my stomach. :(
The ex girlfriend is so unbelievably brave and amazing for testifying. The mom is crazy for sticking up for her son when THE EVIDENCE is clear that he murdered Samantha. Such a HORRIBLE thing that happened to such a beautiful girl. RIP Samantha 💔
@@PlutogalaxyPluto is right. Had the blood stayed in her body and not drained out, she'd still be dead. It's the number of puncture wounds, not the blood draining out. My IQ is also 28.
America is pretty soft on crime compared to a lot of countries. America needs to adopt some Saudi Arabia an Dubai laws. A lot of crime would dwindle and women could finally feel more safe.
They dont deserve tbe easy way outbthey deserve to rot in prison… prison is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE place.. id much rather die quickly and paiblessly than spend my life in that human Zoo
Dude is a sick individual. To prowl around an area looking for an opportunity. Killed an innocent young lady that did nothing to him. And kudos to the girlfriend that did the right thing, which is hard in the culture. Hopefully she will be protected from retribution in the future, they don't protect people who tell on others. R.I.P. to the young lady
"To prowl around an area looking for an opportunity."....It's beyond belief there are humans who do this, But there are, and I just hope that someday we find a way to recognize and neutralize such people before they are able to create such pain as Samantha and her family experienced. 🙏🙏
The fact that young woman got up and testified is amazing. What type of human would threaten her when all she done was told the truth about an evil man. If he killed their loved one best believe they would want the same. Some ppl are disgusting and he deserves every bad thing that comes his way
It's a matter of intelligence. People like that animal don't think like us. They don't have the compassion or necessary mental capacity to consider the feelings of those they hurt or how they would feel if somebody hurt them or a loved one in the same way. They're low iq psychopaths and people like that are extremely dangerous!
I love my son but, I'm sorry if he did something like this and there is evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt I'm not defending him. Right is right. And I would never say "He wouldn't do this because, even tho you may have raised them to be law abiding citizens, they grow up and you can't say what anyone may do or not do, your child or not. That's just the cold hard truth. 🤷🏾♀️
I love how the judge put him and his mother in their place. Nothing is sweeter than a jury coming to an unanimous decision so quickly because of how painfully obvious it was that he killed this innocent woman so callously for nothing, just to rob her. I’m so happy they seen through his facade so quickly & i love how the judge seen through it as well at the end. Good judge right there. Thank God for the witnesses as well but this was pretty open and shut case, imo.
it never surprises me anymore that these people have no remorse in their final statements after sentencing. How could someone who commits such a heinous crime in the first place even be capable of true remorse?
You could see in his eyes at the trial, after convicted, that he wasn’t sorry for what he had done. He was angry he had been caught. The selfishness of some people to the point of being absolutely COLD towards the harm they cause others is astonishing.
The fact this young lady took the stand regardless of how she felt abt her and her childs safety is so powerful and amazing. She did this for that poor young lady and her grieving family
are you insane? She was helping him grow away his bloody clothes at her house. She saw blood all over his car and knew a girl was killed and didn't call the police asap. Even when they pulled him over she was still covering for him saying "those are his sister's keys". She was gonna get charged with accessory after the fact. She only testified to save her own skin. Dont be naive.
@@GodsThirdEyewhat would you have done knowing you’re a mother. A daughter. Someone that doesn’t want to be resulted as a possible mnrder victim?Someone that you possibly loved did something soooo extreme, but has been told nothing. God knows what may have happened to her had yet the police never pulled him over. Blaming the gf is not an option. She did not one detail about exactly what happened. In the end she was able to do her part as a result of what the defendant pursed the early morning prior to her getting in his car . It’s hard to escape someone that knows your every move, address, name, number, possible family. Family is always first and she put her & her daughter first. Had she pushed more with just him and her God knows what may have been the effect. She’s brave for even proving her testimony in court. You yourself should see that.
@GodsThirdEye So disgusting to claim you are Godly when you harbor such hate. This woman was still brave enough to do the right thing, and I hope you are never put in this exact situation with a loved one you trusted. It's clear that she feared for her and her child's safety. I pray she is doing better and is safe from those who threatened her.
How ignorant for people to make a hero out of her. She would have let him get away with the abduction, torture and murder if she hadn't been forced to testify. She was avoiding prosecution! 🙄😡
@@Jacobeeez don’t blame this on the Uber driver she was careless how do you not realize your uber is cancelled theirs also a description of the vehicle and plate
What a great idea for the “what’s my name” I never ever thought of this when taking Ubers. And now that my daughter is going to college and away from me, I fear so much. Specially her riding in Ubers . Thank you Samantha’s family for creating this foundation and for protecting all young girls . Samantha , RIP. I pray for you and your family.

The ex-girlfriend is such a strong powerful woman for coming out like that and telling the truth if it wasn't for her I don't know if they would have got him God bless you woman
Yes. His attorney was trying to say there was no direct proof that he was the one in the car who did that…. But it was his car, he tried to sell her cell phone, and his girlfriend was able to talk about him trying to clean up blood out of the car!
A senseless murder. Hearing that her footprint was on the window was heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the sheer terror she was facing . I’m sure she was pleading for her life on death ears. Rest in peace Sammantha .
@Slewis290 are you for real? Victim shaming a drunk girl trying to be responsible and attempting to get a safe ride home. Shame on you and the hole you came out of for not teaching you to be a better person.
@Slewis290 she made a mistake... that doesn't give that pos the right to murder her?!? I hope you never make a mistake.... but I'm sure you're perfect, right?
Not one friend walked out with her to make sure she was safe knowing she's been drinking and out there alone you should always be cautious and look out for your friends and love ones especially in this mean evil world.
This was my very first thought, not one friend went out there with her? When me and my friends went out, we always looked after one another to make sure each of us was safe.
They said she didn’t want them to. Didn’t you listen to the video? And why would she keep trying to get into any car that came up? She didn’t deserve to be killed but she was also being careless.
@cloudyboyyy8549• agreed. She is a better woman than the sorry Andrea Culverson, girlfriend if Henry Dinkins, the pervert who killed his son's half sister at a sleep over at her apartment. She didn't say jackshit when she woke up at 3 am and found him gone with the 10 yr old girl!
It’s really sad when someone’s life comes to an end in such a brutal way. I feel like if you murder someone and get found guilty, you should be executed the same way your victim did.
golden state killer murdered 13 people, lived free most of his life, now he just sits around in jail, eats and reads books. what a harsh punishment! surely others will be deterred!
This is unreal.. the footage of Samantha getting into the car is extremely clear, the fact that the car, her phone & blood was so easily found. On top of that, running from the cops when he got pulled over & all the evidence found. When the mother came onto the stand.. it was almost comical. I don’t know how anyone could think this man is innocent.
Their pathetic defense that he had no scratch or bruise ? What about everything else he did , the sheet , blood, having her keys & phone , atm card, not able to say where he was , who supposedly “borrowed” his car ? It was great how the jury only needed a little over an hour to convict this evil creature ….. RIP Samantha 😇
I hate when they say “he had no scratches on him. How that happens is beyond me” well you better believe it happened. Her blood was all over the car and that’s proof enough. RIP Samantha ❤️
I'm sure it was brought up in court, just didn't make it in cut for this episode, but look at how he was dressed trying to use her debt card. The thick leather jacket he was wearing. The gloves, head covering, that is why he had no signs of her fighting back on him. He was basically wearing body armor for her fighting back with just her hands.
He could have immediately wounded her enough so that she COULDN'T fight back. Also, some victims are so frozen with fear, that they just don't fight back.
This is the same judge from the Murdaugh case. I think he’s such a great judge! Prayers to the family of this young lady & to the witness (the defendants former girlfriend) who so bravely stepped forward & gave her testimony!
This Judge is fantastic!! I am thankful for how fast he was caught and the justice he received. To this family, my sincere apologies for what he did to your beautiful loved daughter!! May you continue the foundation and enjoy & share your memories. Gods blessings to each of you!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🩷🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love that the Judge Shut His Mother DOWN..when she tried to run her son as an innocent party.. Should have raised him up better Ma'am..now take a sest and pay his commissary
Come on, at the end of the day it’s still her child. And we all know a mom will defend for her child until the end. I know my mom did for me. No matter how many times I got put out of school, she got me reinstated. No matter how many times I got in trouble with the law and had to go to court and looked back she was always sitting right there. Honestly those were the only days she ever missed from work in 35yrs. Both sets of parents lost their child.

The girlfriend who testified against this monster is a true hero. I watched the trial as it was happening. It was very moving. May God be with all of the families involved
You need to look up the TRUE definition of a 'hero'. People throw that word around so easily and it loses its true meaning. Be careful who you label a 'hero'.
@kim6439 she went against her "friend", in order to allow justice to be served. She was a huge reason the defendant got convicted- her honesty and forthcoming nature aided the investigation and the trial . I'm sure to the family of the victim, she was heroic. But, I hear what you're saying. There are a lot of words (amazing for example) that are used too often and too casually.
@@Rainbowsun1 Yes she did, she was very brave for that. That took a ton of courage, I don't know if I would call her a hero though. That word should be used in its correct way, otherwise the true meaning of the word gets taken away when it's just thrown out so much.
Definitely the saddest story I've ever heard. The monsters delusional mother should be ashamed of herself to keep believing he is innocent. Such a sick demented family that all deserve to be in jail for life. Samantha and her family were the definition of the American dream and that monster had to take it all away.
As a father to daughters and sons myself, I would do whatever I could to help the witness. She is an upstanding citizen. I'm so sorry for the Josephson family and their loss. This story broke my heart.
I remember this case...poor girl. She must have been scared out of her mind when she realized she couldn't open the door after getting in...and when it happened and he did what he did...poor girl. Just so frightening and senseless. Only 21 years old. Thank God they found the killer.
Not to mention how vicious and up close and personal her murder was. At least with a gun there is not much struggle, with a knife she is literally forced to fight for her life knowing its going to be a painful losing battle. That monster got off easy if you ask me.
Kudos to the judge for shutting down his mother! He was just convicted of something horrific, with EVIDENCE and she is trying to defend him. Crappy parenting leads to crappy kids who turn into crappy adults. Monster. Rot in prison
I agree with you on the judge but the parents should not be blamed. Once you reach adult age, you reach the age of a accountability. That means his parents are not responsible for what HE did. He knows he did. They have him, they have evidence. Her blood was on the knife that he had been seen cleaning. Plus he has said nothing to what happened that night, no remorse. I'm also glad the judge say his mother down. He's not a good man.
Definitely an eye opener since ive once almost got into a wrong uber before, while being out of town. Fortunately, the man was honest and told me i was in the wrong car and he doesn't do uber, ughhh that's sickening to think that someone would prey on someone like that 😢
Same happened to me once, I was sitting in my car in my apartment's parking lot and these 2 people just opened my door and sat inside. I was like omg are they gonna rob me and kill me? No they just thought I was their uber but it was so scary when 2 randos unexpectedly gets into your car!
It's wild that when we were kids in the 90s/early 00s are told not to talk to strangers, we now use an app to order a stranger and get into their car is kinda crazy.
I was a freshman at the University when this tragedy happened. I still remember everything playing out like it was yesterday. My friends and I went to the vigil and it was absolutely heartbreaking. She was so loved by many, I think about her often even though I didn’t know her but she had such an impact on the university. Her family has also made several strides in the ride-share safety which is incredible despite what they’ve been through. She will never be forgotten, once a gamecock, always a gamecock❤
i was a senior in highschool about to go to usc when this happened. ill never forget this story and samantha everytime i went to bird dog i see her plaque on the wall. may she rest in peace. i always double check the ubers im getting into now.
I had literal chills the whole time. This is such an easy and simple mistake anyone could have made and ended her life. Absolutely wish nothing but peace and comfort for her family and friends and I wish them all a long life
Always ask the driver "who are you picking up?", Not "are you Ahmad?". I used to drive Uber, girls would always walk up and say "are you Chris?". I always told them, never ask that.
I’ve gotten in a wrong uber, he didn’t tell me he wasn’t my driver and proceeded to drive me around in the middle of the night. This happens sooooo much. It’s scary
It never ceases to amaze me how cold blooded some human beings are. Just watching and listening to him claim his innocence after all that was proven is beyond sickening. That ridiculous mother is also to blame for creating and raising that monster.
@newempire158 Sure, being a divorced mother and having law abiding, educated young men isn't possible, is it? Perhaps it's the lack of support for those mothers? Perhaps the father is nowhere to be found. Being a single mother does NOT equal children who become criminals. Shame on you.
He didn't even bother to pretend to care about the fact that a young woman was brutally murdered in his weak statement to the court and only spoke of himself being innocent.
Lol what women do that is considered "brave" men do without second thought. Originally she didn't want to testify but knew something was up. Good for her, but any decent human would do the same. Literally never heard someone call another man "brave" for taking the stand
Breaks my heart as a mom of 3 kids I could not imagine losing my child this way. My daughter literally took an Uber last night to a graduation party and I am shook. I will tell her to always remember SAMI when getting into an Uber from this day forward. Prayers, strength and continued healing for her family and friends.
My son uses ride share often. I have drilled into him what to do and I pray for his safety daily. I can’t imagine what her family is feeling now. I pray I never feel it. There aren’t words to describe their loss. Senseless tragic and heinous.
His mother is probably part of the problem. She had the audacity to proclaim his innocence which more than likely means she’s done this his entire life!
That wasn’t his first time. He’s a monster always on the hunt. He was back in the area because he’s done it before. Bless Samantha and may she rest in peace.
@@ItssKennAnn you people are silly…people are robbed and killed daily. There was one story where a man was shot and killed because the victim didn’t have money.
It is still baffling that she tried, multiple times, to enter someone’s car before even addressing the driver… may she rest in peace and let this be another warning not to enter a stranger’s vehicle without verifying their identity first.
Looking for this comment fr. She just was grabbing at doors and trying to get in without checking. Especially a woman getting into an Uber alone. Dangerous asf yet some people just don’t use their head.
They do this all the time at these clubs they don’t be knowing who car they going to … I had people walk up to my car before thinking I’m an Uber … definitely have to be careful out here and always verify your driver
The fact that there was a young girl chilling in his car while he was being chased... And her having nothing to say other than a one word answer to their question... Crazy.
Agreed!!!! Parents please talk to your sons and daughters TO BE VIGILANT when they go anywhere and NEVER get into an unknown vehicle!!!!! I pray 🙏 for the day we live in a world where there are no murderers!!!!!!
His mother is just as guilty. At least Darrel Brook’s mom tried to explain why her son killed all them people, she tried to say he was mentally ill,. but this one is in straight denial. Lady, you raised a horrible spoiled child who grew up to be a terrible adult. How embarrassing for you…

For shutting the Mom? You’re proud of that? Guilty or not, a Mothers love for the child is UNCONDITIONAL! Yeah her son is a killer but that shouldn’t stop her from LOVING her son. What’s wrong with you? You must not have children or parents for that matter

That’s why everyone needs to be vigilant at all times. It is 100% ok to be in changed of your safety and take the measures you see fit to protect yourself.
This is why every state needs front and back license plates.
Simple but powerful
Yikes. One of the DUMBEST comments I’ve ever read. I hope you gain control of your own mind someday.
A front license plate wouldn't have changed anything in this case. Even after they found the correct car and it's owner, there was still no evidence that he was the driver on that night. The best piece of evidence in this case was testimony, from the lady who testified against him that she witnessed him cleaning the car, the knife, and telling her to mind her own business. Without that, even the knife containing both of their DNA might not have been enough for a conviction.
Front license plates don't do anything to solve murders, all they do is help the state send you petty traffic tickets more easily.
I live in Australia and it's mandatory lol.
@@charlesbrown4483 it would if she'd bothered to look to see if the plate matched the Uber app - thats how it works
What’s more shocking is that neither the son nor mother offered any condolences to the family at all…. SMH

Because they are blk. They dismiss any and all accountability. They are satans offspring, children of the lies.
I’ve watched a couple episodes of this on different programs and it was showing the moms holding escher and so update that they both were in this situation … one was never going to see their child again and one was going through jail for life and she realized her child had gone such a horrific thing
The fact that this guy had zero reaction after being convicted told me EVERYTHING I needed to know. Im so glad that the family has some sense of justice.

Part her fault for choosing to be drunk
this case may have saved my life. after learning what happened to samantha, i now check license plates before getting into my uber. just over a month ago, i was waiting for an uber when a car pulled up next to me. it was a dark car, similar to the car that was described on the app. i almost got in but i remembered to verify the plates and they did not match. a few moments later, my actual uber pulled up. if it wasn't for this case, i may have gotten into that car and who knows what would have happened.
rest easy, samantha
Wow that’s wild I’m glad you were mindful and aware of the situation it’s too many monsters out here
You need this to teach you to check the plate? That's like the most basic thing you should be doing to begin with...
@@ykonratev i mean i've always checked plates but if i order an uber while on an empty street and a car fitting the description pulls up, i'm going to assume its my uber without second thought. especially if i'm under the influence which i usually am if i'm ordering an uber in the first place lol.

I realize that as a young female in a stressful situation we don't always think straight in the moment, but for anyone who's ever in a similar situation you should call Uber customer service immediately (if they're an actual Uber driver) to get that driver's account suspended. If you feel threatened call 911. As soon as you get out of the car get the license plate # (even a partial could help police).

Omg I watched that trial and did not know that gosh I'm so sorry. He was excellent in the Murdaugh trial
That is so dang sad 😔
I looked thru comments for 1st person who realized that was the judge for Murdaugh trial but his son died 2 wks prior to that trial not during. You are so right he is a compassionate judge and I'm sure a very wise man I think Alex M. totally discusted him he had to have pic of Murdaugh grandfather taken off the wall so as not to jeopardize that trial and he practice law in same court rooms as A.M. dad as well he must of had an interesting career overseeing these types of cases.....It was very smart of the mom to ask Uber driver who they are there for that may have prevented her murder!!!!!
Was just going to say exactly that. God bless judge Newman
He lost his son right before that trial started. Not during.
I read that he stabbed her over 120 times with this multi tool. This was a horrific murder and I’m honestly shocked he didn’t get the death penalty for this. She died an extremely low and agonizing death. This guy is the pure definition of evil.
And how did he not get a scratch on himself?
@pinkorganichorse absolutely possible, through a preplanned violent attack
@pinkorganichorse multiple layers of clothing and a good grip on the weapon, or perhaps knocked her out before doing what he did.
No person should ever have bad things happen to them.
Much success and health to all.
Or maybe there was someone else in the car or who partook, this whole case was wild and he killed her with no reason at all! So says the court not myself
Sad that none of her sorority “sisters” or “friends” that partied with her that night walked her to her Uber and made sure she entered safely. My daughter is in college and we stress the importance of staying in groups and taking care of each other.
My heart truly goes out to Samantha’s family. Such a beautiful life cut short.
Judge was amazing. Murderer, his defense team, and his mother disgusted me. The audacity he had to try and claim his innocence in front of her family made my stomach turn!!!
You just disagree with criminal defense as as a whole. And yes Judge Newman was a boss before Murdaugh..
We have the best system on the planet for a reason..
The skill level of public defenders with 20 years of experience it's not bad in the judge is supposed to make sure that both sides have equal experience if the defendant is indigent.
Obviously, NR is a piece of |shit| notice how his public defenders did not talk about his character.
@@surpriseimblack Best system on the planet according to who?
I believe they said she left without announcing to anyone she was leaving.
Even if she did get in her uber she could still be killled. Don't blame her friends smh It's not their fault. They didn't do it
I’m an Uber driver and I always confirm the passengers name and say my name. Sometimes some people seem bothered that I do this but it’s for everyone’s safety… as a dad this just makes me sick to my stomach. :(
The ex girlfriend is so unbelievably brave and amazing for testifying. The mom is crazy for sticking up for her son when THE EVIDENCE is clear that he murdered Samantha. Such a HORRIBLE thing that happened to such a beautiful girl. RIP Samantha 💔
Stabbed 100+ times to where most of her blood was drained from her body.. how horrifying. RIP

It irritates me when people say that. You never know what someone is capable of.

And I would never say "He wouldn't do this because, even tho you may have raised them to be law abiding citizens, they grow up and you can't say what anyone may do or not do, your child or not. That's just the cold hard truth. 🤷🏾♀️
I love how the judge put him and his mother in their place. Nothing is sweeter than a jury coming to an unanimous decision so quickly because of how painfully obvious it was that he killed this innocent woman so callously for nothing, just to rob her. I’m so happy they seen through his facade so quickly & i love how the judge seen through it as well at the end. Good judge right there. Thank God for the witnesses as well but this was pretty open and shut case, imo.
I believe this is the same judge who sentenced Alex Murdaugh!
Yes, that’s Judge Newman who presided on the Alex Murdaugh case. He’s a great judge.
it never surprises me anymore that these people have no remorse in their final statements after sentencing. How could someone who commits such a heinous crime in the first place even be capable of true remorse?
You could see in his eyes at the trial, after convicted, that he wasn’t sorry for what he had done. He was angry he had been caught. The selfishness of some people to the point of being absolutely COLD towards the harm they cause others is astonishing.
They're not people. They're demons.

are you insane? She was helping him grow away his bloody clothes at her house. She saw blood all over his car and knew a girl was killed and didn't call the police asap.

God knows what may have happened to her had yet the police never pulled him over. Blaming the gf is not an option. She did not one detail about exactly what happened. In the end she was able to do her part as a result of what the defendant pursed the early morning prior to her getting in his car . It’s hard to escape someone that knows your every move, address, name, number, possible family. Family is always first and she put her & her daughter first. Had she pushed more with just him and her God knows what may have been the effect. She’s brave for even proving her testimony in court. You yourself should see that.

His mother should have apologized to the family for her son's actions
Somehow I could see how someone could think this man is innocent. Not that I'm one of those people. Looks guilty to me.
I hate when they say “he had no scratches on him. How that happens is beyond me” well you better believe it happened. Her blood was all over the car and that’s proof enough. RIP Samantha ❤️
I'm sure it was brought up in court, just didn't make it in cut for this episode, but look at how he was dressed trying to use her debt card. The thick leather jacket he was wearing. The gloves, head covering, that is why he had no signs of her fighting back on him. He was basically wearing body armor for her fighting back with just her hands.
Yep.
He could have immediately wounded her enough so that she COULDN'T fight back. Also, some victims are so frozen with fear, that they just don't fight back.
He covered up, just like when he went to the atms, thats why he discarded his clothes.
I feel she knows he did it but ofc that’s her job to defend him. He’s obviously guilty and I’m sure everyone in the room knows it it’s just really sad
This is the same judge from the Murdaugh case. I think he’s such a great judge!

Kudos to the judge for shutting down his mother! He was just convicted of something horrific, with EVIDENCE and she is trying to defend him. Crappy parenting leads to crappy kids who turn into crappy adults. Monster. Rot in prison

I agree with you on the judge but the parents should not be blamed. Once you reach adult age, you reach the age of a accountability. That means his parents are not responsible for what HE did.

His mother is just as guilty. At least Darrel Brook’s mom tried to explain why her son killed all them people, she tried to say he was mentally ill,. but this one is in straight denial. Lady, you raised a horrible spoiled child who grew up to be a terrible adult. How embarrassing for you…

u cant put all the blame on the mother, her son was grown, he should be able to deduce whats right and wrong
